DALLAS HERRING and ARCHIE GRAHAM ' v 1 By J. R. Grady Duplin County is honored; : Sampson County has lost a tip top man, and Nprth Carolina is fortunate that Governor Hodges has named Dallas Herring of Rose Hill to the State Board of Education. Duplin has also gained in the fact that her native son is in a position to help, not only Duplin, but his state. We salute Gover nor Hodges in naming Mr. Herring. The State has lost a trustworthy servant in., the death of Mr. Archie Graham of. Clinton. He has always beenji friend of Education arid a leading spirit in Samp son County and Southeastern Carolina. WE WANT TO SUGGEST A. P. (Addis) Cates of Faison served on the Duplin Board of Education for years. He served as chairman. Knowing Mr. Cates personally we know he is vitally interested in the schools of Duplin. He also served as chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and knows the county's financial problems as well as the school problems. We would like to suggest Mr. Cates as a successor to Mr. Herring on the Board of Education in -Duplin. - We think the Duplin County Executive Committee y A very good judgment in suggesting Hugh Jotin oon of Rose Hill as successor to Roberf M.

The choir in the distance the echoes woke. And Jiggs kept still while Maggie spoke. "O, thou! who guardest the gate," said she, "We two, came hither beseeching thee To let us enter the Heavenly land, And play our harps with the Angel Band. Of me, St. Peter, there is no doubt. There's nothing from Heaven to bar me out; I've been to meeting three times e week And most always I'd rise to speak."

Bisl op , said ovety Item that area (Cutl net and Photo by walked through fields of tobacco that were ready for harvest. Only a few stubbles remained as- evidence that tobacco was located in the fields. I-- ils late date it is feared that very little can be done to bring out a sucker on the remains of the stubbles. Most farmers say that as far as tobacco is concerned in that immediate area, all is lost. Beans, a secondary crop in the community, were flattened in the storm. Those that were about waist high are a mass of stubbles. The 3-ounger ones just disappeared in the wake of the hail. Corn suffered in the path of hail and wind. The stalks were shred ded and twisted by the wind that accompanied the storm. Gardens were destroyed. Ladies in the area this morning were busy salvaging what was left of the gar dens to be canned for future use. Some farmers in that area who had cucumbers have very little if any of the vines left. This crop had been marketed early so the damage on the remainder was slight. The estimate of farmers in that area is a total loss of about 300 acres of tobacco. And another estimated S00 acres suffered damages of more than 50 per cent in surrounding areas. There has not been any account of the loss of stock. None has been reported dead as the result of the storm at this time. However, heavy rains washed out fences and live stock in the area are out of the pas tures. ' Another large loss that is to be considered in the land itself. Heavy ruins washed away topsoil. Several fields can be seen where only the subsoil remains. The topsoil has been washed away to nearby rivers and small streams. In the area this morning farmers had begun to recover from the shock and started with clean up around farms. Rounding up livestock and ditching to take care of remaining topsoil was the main work. Very little contact has been made with the area due to telephoneser v ice being out of order since the be. ginning of the storm. As this reporter left the area peo ple were pouring in to see the de vastated area. Vernon Reynolds. Duplin County agent, could not be contacted foe a -report on estimated damage in the area. As yet there has not been any report on just what will be done about help and rehabilitation to. the section. Reynolds was in the area all mor ning and part of the afternoon where the damages was so severe. His office reported that no state ment could be made until a further study is made of the damage. Harvey Hill Is Being Held For Alledged Rape Harvey Hill, 39, Negro, is being held without bond today in Kenans ville jail for the alledged rape of Hattie Jones, Negro, Sunday morn ing. Sheriff Ralph Miller said Hill was ordered held without bond af ter a hearing Tuesday. Investigation, Miller said, shows that Hill arrived at the Jones house, located about two miles from Beau tnncus, at about 9 a.m. Sunday morning. He broke through the screen door and wooden door to gain entrance to the house. Johnny Jones, husband of Hattie, was in the house at the time and fired a shot from a shotgun as Hill entered the hose. He missed. Mil ler said, and left the house since he did not have another shell.
